Receiving calls
To receive calls, Wireless Mode must be on. This is different from having just the
screen turned on (see page 15).
To answer a call, do one of the following:
• Using the 5-way navigation control, choose the onscreen Answer button.
• If the headset is attached, press the headset button.
To ignore a call and send it to voicemail, do one of the following:
• Press Backspace .
• Using the 5-way navigation control, choose the onscreen Ignore button.
To silence the ringer while your phone is ringing:
• Press the volume buttons or any key on your Treo except the 5-way navigation
control, Space, Return, or Backspace.
• To immediately silence all system sounds including the ringer, slide the ringer
switch to Sound Mode Off .
When you silence the ringer, you can either answer the call or let it ring through to
voicemail.
If audio (MP3 music, for example) is playing, and a call arrives, you can still hear the
phone ringing softly. To answer the call, do one of the following:
• Using the 5-way navigation control, choose the onscreen Answer button.
• Press the headset button (if headset is attached).
The audio continues playing but you won’t hear it during your call.
Voicemail services must be
active on your account
before sending a call to
voicemail. Otherwise you
can check the Call Log to
see a missed call (if the
caller’s number was not
blocked).
To prevent calls from
accidentally being
answered while the phone
is in a pocket or briefcase,
you can disable the
touchscreen when an
incoming call arrives (see
page 130).
